I have been dreading the day we go to metric TIME. That will take some
getting use to.

Let's end this thread for now.
(We currently supply the hex wrenches with all kit -and- built K3s to
avoid this problem overseas.)

Why not have displays in wavelengths and fractions of wavelengths as we
are all familiar with them.
1/2 wave dipoles. 1/4 wave matching stubs, 5/8 wave verticals etc. Also
no band to frequency
conversions will be required.

No way. Decimals are much easier to work with. Our frequencies are measured
in decimal and I sure wouldn't like to see my rig display it in fractions.
Our money is written in decimals. It's just a matter of not comparing
imperial with metric. If you do that you will never get it, in my opin

Metric hardware in the US is slooowly becoming available, but it will
take at least another two generations IMHO.
The automotive industry is now almost fully converted to metric parts,

In the meantime, we here in the US have to keep two sets of too

All this is very interesting. It certainly demonstrates the need for the

regions with poor postal services, e.g. the UK is an expensive and slow
business.
The problem with the wrench - or hex key is a real one. It also applie
I think I remember a post not too long ago from the guys at Elecraft
that the composition of the material the knobs are made of had been
changed. My rig is SN3539, and so far, no exploding knobs. I'm positive
they'll take care of you.

Sorry for your difficulties. I'm sure Elecraft will contact you and make
things right.
I have a factory assembled K3 from Dec 2008 and both allen wrenches were
included in a small envelope.
